A method of printing with a fluid jet printer ( 10 ) is provided. The printer ( 10 ) has a printhead ( 12 ) with a fluid ejecting face ( 12 a) facing a recording medium ( 14 ), the fluid ejecting face ( 12 a) having at least one fluid ejector ( 18 ) arranged thereon. The method includes: imparting movement to at least one of the fluid ejector ( 18 ) and the recording medium ( 14 ) such that the recording medium ( 14 ) moves relative to the fluid ejector ( 18 ) along a fast scan direction ( 32 ) at a velocity (v<SUB>m</SUB>); and, selectively ejecting fluid from the fluid ejector ( 18 ) toward the recording medium ( 14 ) as the movement is being imparted, such that: (i) a main drop is formed and has a first velocity (v<SUB>d</SUB>) in a first direction; and, (ii) a satellite droplet is formed and has a second velocity (v<SUB>s</SUB>) in a second direction that forms an angle (theta) with respect to the first direction, wherein theta substantially satisfies the equation: tan theta=v<SUB>m</SUB> [1/ (v<SUB>s </SUB>cos theta)- 1 /v<SUB>d</SUB>].
